acoustics+2

= **Acoustics** =

==== Went you design a place you have to think in basic things, space, location and needs. The acoustics are part of the needs. In a classroom for 40 students you have to consider the acoustic related to a place for speakers and conversations. So the important thing in the classroom is that the teacher can be heard by everyone. ====

==== Other aspect to be considering is that the noise outside doesn’t get in the classroom. So this room has to be very close to the hallway and opens to the exterior; especially went the exterior is a garden or a quiet place. ====

==== If in the exterior of the classroom is a place like a playground or a parking lot the site of the windows has to be smaller and preferable close to the roof just for illumination and ventilation. But this is a non architectonical solution and a very easy one. ==== ==== Other solution not complicated but very interesting is the use of plants. For example in the humanities faculty of the UCV (Central University of Venezuela) the classrooms are near the sideway and a lot of people are passing by, so probably Villanueva the architect of this university think about it and the solution was that between the classrooms and the sideway put a garden with a lot of bushes and grass. This permit that the noise doesn’t entry to the class and also the voice of the teacher doesn’t dissipate. ====
